This home-grown group has been called one the world’s great string quartets, even though none of them holds a bow. William Kanengiser is one of the founding members of the Grammy-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet. He recently stopped by the KUSC studios to talk to Jim Svejda about a new piece written just for the LAGQ by one of their guitar heroes (look for it on a new album from the group to be released next year).
